Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Don’t bow your head, the crown will fall

Antiope led a team of female knights and took Xinian through the town of Paradise Island to a mountain peak.

Xi Nian, who was riding on a white horse, felt his eyes brighten.

This mountain seems to have had its top cut off by a mighty force, like a natural training ground platform open on all sides. The inside of the venue is covered with soft carpet-like grass, and the outside faces the endless sky and ocean.

On the natural grass of the training ground, dozens of tall, bare-chested female warriors, clad in combat skirts, engaged in fierce and serious sparring. Each of them possessed physical prowess exceeding that of an average human, and they wielded real swords and guns.

The fierce collision between the sword and the knife tip caused sparks to fly and the sound of metal clashing could be heard everywhere!

This is the female warrior of the Amazon tribe. If she were to face a modern human army of equal size, she would undoubtedly be crushed into pieces!

When faced with invaders, they will rush to the front and fight!

Seeing Antiope arrive on a black horse, the female warriors on the training ground all stopped and saluted respectfully in unison: "General!"

Immediately following.

Their undisguised hostile gazes, like sharp sword edges, all fell on the young man behind Antiope.

Without anyone explaining, everyone knew Xi Nian's identity at a glance.

After all, as a human, and a male at that, he was incredibly recognizable on Paradise Island. Furthermore, he wore the Starlight Flying Crown, a royal regalia!

If looks could kill, Xi Nian would obviously have been killed countless times.

Xinian sighed secretly, and could understand where the hostility of the Amazon warriors came from.

These female warriors are more courageous and fiercer than the female guards. For them who value strength, I, a minor human, am far from being worthy of being the princess of the Amazon.

But, but!

Understanding does not mean acceptance!

They could indeed look down on themselves as human beings, but now he was wearing his aunt's crown on his head!

Xinian, who had been unable to sit steadily on his white horse before, now looked up coldly with a sharp gaze, and stared directly at the female warriors who were looking at him with hostility!

Under the golden sunlight, the Starlight Crown shone with majestic, shimmering halos, making the young man Xinian, sitting on his white horse, seem like a true member of the royal family. Many Amazon warriors subconsciously avoided his gaze, not daring to look directly at him!

Antiope was a little surprised. She had intentionally let the bravest and most powerful female warriors fight against Xinian, just to give Xinian a warning and let him know that he could not bear the weight of the crown.

But.

Antiope was wrong, absolutely wrong!

In fact, Xi Nian also believed that he could not bear the meaning of this crown from his aunt, but now, as long as this crown was on his head for a second, he would never give in or bow to anyone and let anyone tarnish its glory!

If she bowed her head, it would be Aunt Diana's dignity and honor that would be damaged!

This is Xi Nian's reverse scale!

Antiope seemed to suddenly come to her senses and shouted to the female warriors, "Hurry up and salute!"

The female warriors looked at each other, and no matter how reluctant they were, they saluted Xi Nian on the white horse and the gorgeous crown he was wearing: "Greetings..., Your Highness!"

Xinian patted the white horse, and even the white horse became much more obedient at this time, lowering its body obediently.

Antiope dismounted from her black horse and gave the female warriors instructions: "Rest here first. After lunch, we can resume the training."

"Yes! General!" The female warriors packed up their weapons, and soon ordinary civilians came over with figs, cheese, bread, and freshly baked meat.

These female warriors were not restrained and ate in circles.

The horses were tied up on one side of the meadow.

Xi Nian sat down alone on the grass, and soon, a sumptuous meal was brought to him.

"Your Highness, this is how we Amazon warriors typically eat lunch. If you're not used to it, I can arrange for you to have lunch indoors." Antiope approached, a roasted leg of lamb in her hand. Perhaps due to Xi Nian's treatment, her expression had improved considerably, and her face was no longer as cold as before.

"Just treat it as a picnic, it's a good experience." Xi Nian shrugged, washed his hands with clean water, and started eating bread and barbecue on the spot.

He was really hungry.

Antiope looked at Xinian who was eating with great relish, and suddenly felt dazed.

She remembered that when Diana was a child, after being approved to train with their warriors, she also refused to go to the palace for lunch, but instead followed them to eat on the grass in the training ground.

Antiope said, "Thank you."

"What?" Xi Nian looked at her in confusion.

"Thank you for defending Her Highness Diana's reputation." Antiope said expressionlessly.

"You don't need to thank me for this." Xi Nian said bluntly: "She is my family, this is my obligation."

"Family obligations..." A strange look flashed in Antiope's eyes.

Finished lunch.

Xinian thought he could go back and rest, but he saw Antiope suddenly stand up and pick up two ancient Greek swords that gleamed with cold light from the weapon rack next to the training ground.

laugh!

Antiope held a Greek sword in her hand and stabbed the other sword diagonally into the grass in front of Xinian: "Come on!"

"What should I do?" Xi Nian looked at the sword with a frown.

This scene also attracted the attention of all the female warriors on the field, and they all came over to watch.

"It is my duty to invite you to battle," Antiope said coldly. "Now, it is time to fulfill your duty—take up your sword and fight me."

"I don't know how to use a sword..."

Xi Nian's words haven't fallen yet.

Antiope suddenly rushed forward with a gust of wind, and swung the Greek sword in his hand towards Xinian!

Damn, for real!

Xi Nian's brown pupils suddenly contracted, and almost subconsciously, he grasped the long sword stuck in the ground with both hands, pulled it out, and held it horizontally in front of his body to block -

clang!!

A sword flew out, spun a few times, and landed diagonally on the grass behind Xinian.

Xi Nian looked at his empty hands and felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.

But it was Antiope who rushed forward and suddenly changed from chopping to stabbing, knocking the sword in Xinian's hand away.

"Duties require corresponding abilities to fulfill." Antiope looked at Xinian coldly, "You're too weak! You think you can take away this island's most precious treasure? As the wolf and scorpion protecting Her Highness Diana, I have the obligation to bite your neck off at any time!"

Xi Nian didn't say anything, but turned around, pulled out the sword again and held it in his hand!

"Come again!"

Facing the strongest general of the Amazon tribe, the human boy wearing the star crown said with certainty.
